Brighton face a key injury concern ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday. The Seagulls will be without one of their important defensive players due to injury issues that have recently emerged in their squad. Manager Arne Slot must now consider his options carefully as his team prepares for a challenging fixture against Liverpool.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are dealing with their own injury and suspension challenges. Conor Bradley is confirmed to be suspended for the game after receiving his fifth Premier League caution in the recent match against Leeds United, ruling him out of the Liverpool vs Brighton encounter. Bradley had just returned from a muscle injury but will miss this game due to suspension. Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool’s potential right-back option, is recovering from a hamstring injury and is targeting a possible return in time for the Brighton game, though his availability remains uncertain. Liverpool’s senior centre-back options are limited as Giovanni Leoni is out for a lengthy period following an ACL injury, and Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez remain their only fit senior centre-backs.

Liverpool must also navigate the risk of further suspensions, with Bradley one yellow card away from a Champions League ban and Dominik Szoboszlai close to a domestic suspension as well. Brighton will need to exploit any advantage from Liverpool’s injury and suspension troubles, but Slot’s fitness concerns pose challenges for both sides ahead of this important fixture.
